organization is essential, since the primary purpose of socialization is continuation of the core values and giving employees a framework for responding to their work environment and coordina on with other staff. (1986, Jones). Seemingly, commitment influences employee`s effort and the effort, in turn, affects their Performance (1993,. (Allen & Meyer). Yang (2008) found in his study that organizational socialization impacts organizational commitment and job satisfaction leading to less job leave in the Hotel crew. Kowtha (2008) showed that socializa on methods influenced role clarity , consolidated group work and the job
domination. Allen (2006) And Chow (2002) in a similar study concluded that organizational socialization methods let Organizations recruit new employees. Exum(1998) and Geuss(1993) in a similar study concluded that significant relationship existed between Organizational socialization with Organizational Commitment and Job satisfaction . Hence the question in this study is: Is there a relationship between organizational socialization and organizational commitment in physical education departments `employees in Mazandaran province?
